Childhood Cancer is the leading cause of death among children and teens. We can change that with funds for Research. Eliana Nunley, a survivor of leukemia, wants to change that, so she started an annual event in her school – and now virtually all schools – in San Luis Obispo Country, CA.

All proceeds go to the Sammy Jeffers Foundation, started by the his loving parents, who are determined to fund research to find a cure for the cancer which took Sammy at age 8. And that will start a snowball of further cures!

Paul Marinaro celebrated the release of his new album, “Without a Song” at The Jazz Showcase in Chicago, IL on June 12, 2013. In this trailer, Paul discusses the concept album, his reasons for the tribute, and his song selections.

“Pieces of Dreams” will be a bonus track on Paul Marinaro’s forthcoming album, “Without a Song”. It also serves as the theme for a film clip in the forthcoming documentary “You Will Be My Music”, tracing the creation of Paul’s album. In this clip, Paul describes how, amazingly, as a boy of 5, he rescued his father’s old recordings from the trash. Those acetates served as inspiration for Paul’s album project to pay tribute to his Dad, and were used in part on the album itself.

In effort to expand the Peace Chair Project globally, artist Catalina McIsaac and filmmaker Bob Williams of Films for Good are developing a documentary film, “Art of Peace: Imagine.”
